Notes

  • Be sure to remove the cookies from the oven before they turn brown to prevent them from getting too crispy.
  • Arrange cookies on a parchment paper sheet, leaving an inch of space between each cookie to avoid spreading into each other while baking.
  • Add sugar-free mini chocolate chips to the shortbread dough for a deliciously indulgent twist on classic shortbread cookies.
  • Drizzle low-carb icing sugar made by combining powdered erythritol and heavy cream over the cooled cookies for a sweeter treat.
  • Incorporate baking soda into the cookie dough mixture for a slightly fluffier consistency.
  • Vanilla bean paste can be used instead of vanilla extract for a more intense flavor.
  • Avoid using salted butter in your shortbread cookie recipes, as it can alter the taste and texture of the final product.
  • Use cookie cutters to create fun shapes with the dough before baking.
